I have not heard of other car companies in other countries paying off huge numbers of staff. Yet the PM calls it a global crisis! So, just the UK then? We know why
If @EdSheeran had a warm-up act that did blackface he would be gone before he sang or rapped a note.
So why have he and @LiveNation not yet dropped Macklemore, who does “Jew”face and has stunk up Ed’s tour with his divisive and hateful politics.
Dump him now!

The shocking moment anti Catholic terrorists STORMED Westminster Cathedral during Mass
The anti Catholic BIGOTS have described themselves as 'feminists, queer and trans people'
If I were to drive to Dover port with no valid passport/or an expired passport /or no other ID I would be stopped and turned back at the booth of the French Border officers.
If I put my toe down or ran off to attempt to get to a ferry I would be pursued, arrested, maybe charged and forcibly removed.
And yet our police (Public servants supposed to be protecting the British public) in Portsmouth yesterday were protecting and facilitating 140 undocumented, unidentifiable and illegal intruders from Cherbourg.
Whilst literally pushing back UK citizens. Who orders and sanctions this modus operandi ?
I’m happy and relieved to say I won my legal case against Essex Police and Crime Commissioner Roger Hirst.
Mr Hirst has admitted liability, apologised and paid substantial damages. 1/4 https://t.co/GA3lIvaKqr
Another day, another round of reckless quads on the streets of #Birmingham this time almost knocking someone down.
@WMPolice is it worth even reporting?
A Home Office whistleblower claims that at best 1% of asylum seekers are genuine. He says it is easier for officials to approve claims than reject them.
The system is being gamed.
Britain is our home, not a hotel. A Conservative Government will leave the ECHR and remove those with no right to be here.
.@edsheeran I brought my wife and two daughters to MetLife Friday because we are huge fans of yours. We arrived early, I spent $180 on two sweatshirts for them, watched the first two opening acts and were having a great time.
Then Macklemore decided to turn your concert into his political rally.
When he started chanting “Free Palestine” and pushing his clearly uneducated version of the Israel/Gaza conflict, my daughters looked at me completely confused. I had brought them to an Ed Sheeran concert, not to have an opening act lecture them about Middle East politics.
After Friday night, I started looking into Macklemore’s history. What I found, including his repeated use of antisemitic tropes, made the whole thing even worse.
So I took my family and walked inside alongside hundreds of your other fans. As we were walking in, even the MetLife security guards were rolling their eyes at what was happening on stage.
We waited until Macklemore was finished before returning to our seats. Then we watched your show, which was phenomenal.
I left Friday hoping maybe this had caught you and your team off guard.
Then tonight you allowed it to happen again.
You knew exactly what Macklemore had done the night before, and you gave him the stage again.
Friday might have been Macklemore’s decision. Saturday was yours.
You have a lot of Jewish fans who love your music, buy your albums and merchandise, and bring their kids to your concerts.
Tonight, you lost four of them. And I suspect plenty more.

14 years of Conservative failure. 2 years of broken promises from Starmer. Now Andy Burnham, with no mandate, wants you to wait another 10 years.
Ten years. That's Labour's offer.
I'm asking for 100 days to turn our country around.

Hi Mark,
You seem to say ‘just over 16,500’ as tho it’s somehow cause for celebration?
Knowing exact costs of asylum is tricky but the IPPR gave an annual figure of £41k per ‘asylum seeker’. With ‘just 16,500’, that amounts to circa £676.5m per year that British tax payers are forced to pay for those people. Home Office has stated an asylum claim costs £18,700. So for ‘just 16,500’ that is circa £309million pounds.
If placed in, say 4 bed HMOs, that is over 4,000 homes required for these ‘just 16,500’ people.
You then go on to reference crime statistics. Well, again, chance to understand all this would be a fine thing…Our government is currently fighting a ruling that would force it to be transparent with data in relation to migrant crime. The government are trying to block the release of it.
As for my child being ‘more likely to be raped by a family friend’, I find this a pathetic pushback. The fact we have our own wrong ‘uns is a good reason for us not to be taking in anymore. You also ignore per capita, the sexual offence rate seems much higher among certain communities (and again, that data release is essential to prove or disprove this).
Oh and don’t even get me started on lorry crossings… the ‘just over 16,500’ figure only focuses on boats. There is evidence showing that migrants are now also (again!) using lorries as method of access.
I note you are a ‘former head of comms’ for Number10. This does not surprise me. You seem to think the problem is with those pointing out reality, rather than with reality itself. You use baseless descriptions like “scaremongering”, I assume to try and shame people into staying silent and ignoring what they see with their own eyes. I’m afraid that doesn’t wash with me.
I’d hazard a guess that you’re far removed from the communities most affected by all this stuff. It isn’t just a cost issue, it’s a cultural one too. It’s a changing of communities, largely against the will of those within them.
I’ll end by respectfully suggesting that actually Mark, it’s *you* and your ilk who need to get a grip….
I was on the ground in Portsmouth from 4pm till 3am for the migrant arrivals
These protestors were not ‘thugs’. They were concerned local residents coming out on a Sunday.
Don’t blame residents. Blame the government who allow 600 foreign men to invade our shores on a Sunday.
It’s much worse than it sounds because he rents these houses out to relatives on housing benefit. The DWP pays the rent to his company and doesn’t know the landlord is a relation.
Your taxes are paying for this Bangladeshi scammer’s mortgages, and the rest of his parasitic clan.
